A survey was conducted to know the effect of immature fruits of cinnamon with different locations and farmers with respect to yield and commercial utilization of cinnamon fruits. Cinnamon growers from Sirsi and Siddapurtalukas of malnad Karnataka were selected for the survey during 2019-2020. Information collected as per the survey format on Stage of fruit harvest varied from Immature buds (SujayBhat) to Just exposure of fruit from perianth (Dinesh Gowda) and Immature fruit just tip opens (SatishDev).
